I go to the hospital for regular check ups and for counselling on my hallucinations. While waiting for my counsellor to join me for one of my counselling sessions I saw a young man open the door and look straight ahead of himself. He had dark circles beneath his eyes and he looked absolutely terrified, saying “give me another week, I’ll have the money by then”. His neck split open and then left. I tried to keep myself calm, expecting it to be an unusual hallucination. But I looked next to me and saw an elderly women waiting in a chair next to me, and she was very shaken with her mouth wide open. Either she had a hallucination as well or we both witnessed a ghost.
